WATTPAD BOOKS EDITION There are imperfect moments in every life-but sometimes, there are perfect accidents . . . What's the point of pretending nothing has changed when everything has? It's the last summer before college, and Jonas Avery knows he should be excited. Instead, he hides out at home, avoiding his friends, his family, and everything that resembles his old life. Because nothing will be normal again-because of The Accident, when everything started falling apart. Brennan Davis knows she needs to stand up and face her anxiety-the deep, dark, debilitating dread that rules her everyday life. Because what stops her from going out into the world and just living is going to get a whole lot worse. She's leaving for college in the fall, where she'll be confronted with even more to worry about. To get back up sometimes you have to fall down, hard . . . When Jonas crashes into Brennan-in a harmless, albeit embarrassing fender bender-the two teens connect in ways they never expected. As friends, they help each other overcome their biggest falls and faults, and soon discover that while love can't fix everything, it's sometimes a place to start. Sensitive, wry, and unabashedly authentic, The Opposite of Falling Apart isn't about finding perfection in another person or fixing the things we think are broken. Instead, Micah Good has penned an enchantingly honest novel about accepting the very pieces of ourselves that make us unique, whole, and undeniably human.

Synopsis When Filipino American Cris and rural beauty Anna are drawn into a ten-day whirlwind romance, their short summer together unfolds as a love story for the Philippines, and years later, blossoms into a love story for God. ..... A deeply emotional romance novel... that absolutely subverts romance. ..... Romance, Subverted The "Meet Cute" -- There is nothing "cute" about their "meet." Their first conversation is her absolutely roasting him. A head-on collision between two wildly divergent worlds. Cinderella, Subverted -- Our "Cinderella" does not need the prince's validation. She holds him in "intellectual contempt." Rich Boy Saves Poor Girl -- Rich boy will not save the poor girl. Poor girl tries to save him... and fails. Spectacularly. A further subversion of the romance subversion. The Simple, Innocent Rural Beauty -- There is nothing "innocent" nor "simple" about our rural girl. She's like a high-performance Ferrari who uses her beauty and brains for war. Billionaire, Subverted -- Our powerful yet powerless rich kid won't be saved by his "princess in shining armor". He has to save himself. Antagonist. Protagonist -- The Antagonist is not who you think. The Protagonist is not who you think (definitely not your two main leads). The Heroic Mantle -- Ultimately, the novel subverts itself, transferring the mantle of heroism from the lovers to the Dearest Friend, who then bestows it upon the smallest, the most humble, the least of us. .....
